“Sometimes, the best gifts come wrapped in a little disguise.”

Get ready to unwrap a dose of Christmas cheer with Netflix’s newest holiday rom-com, My Secret Santa, starring Alexandra Breckenridge, Ryan Eggold, and Tia Mowry. Directed by Michael Rohl (The Princess Switch), this feel-good festive film slides onto Netflix on December 3, 2025 — just in time to warm your heart before the snow settles.

This year, love, laughter, and a sprinkle of Christmas mischief are all waiting under the tree. 🎁

🎄 The Holiday Story That’s Full of Surprises

When life takes a frosty turn, Taylor Jacobson (Alexandra Breckenridge) — a determined single mom — finds herself struggling to afford her daughter’s dream snowboarding camp. With few options and Christmas fast approaching, she takes a daring leap: disguising herself as a man to land a job as the seasonal Santa at an elite ski resort.

“Desperate times call for jolly measures.”

Everything seems to fall into place when Taylor’s clever disguise wins her the job — until she meets Matthew Layne (Ryan Eggold), the charming and unsuspecting resort manager. As their connection deepens, Taylor finds herself tangled in a web of emotions, torn between her newfound love and the secret she’s hiding beneath that white beard.

❤️ Love in Disguise

My Secret Santa blends humor, heart, and holiday spirit into a perfectly wrapped rom-com gift. The film captures the chaos of Christmas hustle with the emotional sweetness of rediscovering love — even when it comes disguised as Santa Claus.

Alexandra Breckenridge, beloved for her role in Virgin River, shines as Taylor, bringing her signature warmth and comedic timing. Opposite her, Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam, The Blacklist) exudes charm as the man who teaches her that love — like Christmas magic — can surprise you when you least expect it.

And let’s not forget Tia Mowry (Sister, Sister, Family Reunion), who adds an extra sparkle of joy as Natasha Burton, Taylor’s best friend and secret keeper.
